TAX DATE 2022. The deadline for completing your tax return has just been changed! Are you concerned? All of the information.
[Mis à jour le 12 mai 2022 à 07h56] You may have missed it, but the deadline to tick on your calendar after which it will no longer be possible to complete your tax return has just been changed! Indeed, for all taxpayers who have opted for the paper declaration, in particular certain elderly people and other taxpayers who simply do not have the possibility of accessing the Internet, an additional period is granted! Clearly, ended on May 19, 2022, place at May 31, 2022 always at 11:59 p.m. for the date and time limit. A decision by the Directorate General of Public Finance which follows a delay on their part concerning the sending of pre-filled tax returns. In an attempt to compensate, 15 additional days are granted. “In order to take this situation into account, which concerns a little less than 5% of the users to whom these declarations are addressed, the deadline for submission initially scheduled for May 19 has been exceptionally postponed to May 31, 2022.” was it written in the official press release of the tax authorities. We remind you all the same the complete calendar of the deadlines if you decide to declare your income via the online declaration, like 90% of the taxpayers of the Hexagon:
- Departments (01) to (19) and non-residents: May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
- Departments (20) to (54) and Corsica: May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
- Departments (55) to 974/976: June 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
The opening of the 2022 declarative campaign was scheduled for April 7. Everything went well at the opening on Thursday, before a big hiccup that the tax authorities had absolutely not expected. No possibility of accessing the pre-filling of the tax declaration for three days. In question ? Pre-filling errors concerning the overtime of certain civil servants. The problem was solved on Monday 11 in the early afternoon. From now on, everything is back to normal, all taxpayers can complete their tax return. Let’s start with the details you absolutely need to keep in mind regarding the paper tax return.
To declare online, you must connect to your private space with your tax number and your password. If you do not yet have a password, enter your tax number, your online access number and your reference tax income. You will find these identifiers on the tax return received in April (tax number and online access number) and on the tax notice received in August N-1 (reference tax income).
If you have forgotten your tax number or your password, on the authentication screen, the procedures allow you to recover your identifiers.
Once authenticated, select the “Declare my income” service. Your online declaration will be pre-filled with information known to the administration. All you have to do is verify your marital status, your address and the pre-filled amounts. You can correct them if necessary. Then, you will complete the other income you have received and the charges, reductions or tax credits to which you are entitled. Don’t forget to sign your online declaration for it to be taken into account.
The deadline for taxes online on impots.gouv.fr depends exclusively on your department number. In total, three zones have been determined by the tax authorities. Here are the deadlines that applied this year:
- 1time area: the May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 01 to 19 and residents not resident in France
- 2th area: the May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments 20 to 54 including the two departments of Corsica
- 3th area: the June 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 55 to 974/976
Taxpayers who use the paper form have up to May 31, 2022, at midnight, to submit their income tax return, postmarked, regardless of their place of residence. The deadline is therefore the same for everyone. As a reminder, only taxpayers who do not have Internet access or who do not have the capacity to use digital tools can still use the paper form. Internet tax filing is now mandatory.
